DESIGNER clothes and accessories from labels such as Prada, Armani and Alexander McQueen will be among the items available at a charity shop sale.

Collectible items including a selection of Steiff Teddy Bears, including a panda, a 1950s picnic hamper and a pink sporran will also feature in the event at Shelter Scotland's Morningside shop in Edinburgh on Friday.

All funds raised from the annual sale will go towards the Shelter Scotland free national helpline, which provides support and advice to people dealing with bad housing and homelessness.

The items have all been recently donated to the Shelter Scotland shop, which is known for offering designer brands.

Shop manager Allison Granham said: "We have a long-standing reputation for offering some of the best quality second hand designer goods in the city and our January event certainly won't disappoint. We have some impressive items on sale and are looking forward to welcoming eager shoppers looking for real bargains.

"This is our third new year event and we hope to raise as much money as possible to support Shelter Scotland's work to help people struggling with bad housing and homelessness."

The sale opens at 10am on Friday at the shop at 104 Morningside Road.

A similar event was held at the charity's Stockbridge shop in the city yesterday, and raised £2000 in the first hour.
